STREET sPRINKLING.
The Superintendent of Streets re-
ported that, in accordance with the
order of the Council of July 5th, 1887,
to have sprinkled only such streets as
were graded or accepted, he had the
sprinkling carts taken off such streets
as did not have either one or the other
of those requirements, and, among
other streets, they were taken off
Boyle avenue, the grade OF which
street has, so far as he can discover,
never been established. On the 18th
day of July, 1887. His Honor, the
Mayor OF the city, personally deliv-
cred to him the accompanying order.
That said order of the Mayor was
not obeyed as, in his opinion,
his doing 50 would have been
direct disobedience of the said orders
of the Council. AT the request OF the
Mayor, however, he subsequently re-
visited Boyle avenue, and would re-
spectfully report that he found that
said street between the points men
toned by his honor, the Mayor, viz. !;
Park avenue and the south side of en-
trance to Mrs. Hollenbeck's place, had
been turnpiked and gravelled, but be-
tween Park avenue and First street,
on BOYLE avenue however, there is no
indication of any work having been
done and as the grade of no portion of
the street has been established
and neither has any portion of said
street been accepted, he cannot see
how BOYLE avenue can be included
under said order of the Council among
those streets to be sprinkled and he
respectfully refers the matter to your
honorable body.
